All of 0.0 (that I care about) are perfectly fine with the new changes (except its impact on newbies), and so the idea of a Hail Mary in the form of player stargates never occurred to us. Because we don't need it. These changes make our holdings impregnable.

A titan is capital right? hows a 15k sig ship going to fit through a 5k sig stargate?

Im checking to see if its the first of april

First of all a big thank you of brining out the DevBlog even earlier than announced at o7. Cudos for proposing drastic changes. Can we have the sim you are running?

Hot-dropping isn't going to be as fun as it use to be.

On the bright side Dek is going to be nice and cosy.

For those of you leaving game over this, can I haz your stuff?

Death to all capitals.

I feel the numbers are a bit on the harsh side and should probably scale back some of the timers and range nerfs.. carriers are so critical to logistics they could do with longer range.

overall though, i support the general direction of this -- just needs some polish.

My takeaway from this? use Multiple character training to make alts that can use the same carrier.

Jump, jump again, dock, contract carrier to alt, log in alt, jump jump, log in alt, jump jump. Carrier logistics minimally impacted.

for power projection purposes, just plant alts in nearest npc space with carriers/dreads ready to go.

congrats, you Just 'Malcanis Law'd' null sec and made things worse because who can afford to but new characters and PLEX for multiple character training, new guys or old players?

This change will do two things:

It will make the big account creating battles like BR- impossible (allowing already established alliances to entrench further)

It will make null sec isk making MANY times safer than it was and people can now notice that in region blob of hot droppers that just appeared on the in game map rather than the out of region blob that was waiting to drop them.

End result: a rehash of this. LESS conflict instead of the desired 'more'.

On a more positive note, it will temporarily shake things up till people figure out the work arounds...like the ones i figured out 15 seconds after reading the blog post...


In a way i welcome this though, as a test bed for proving to CCP that this line of thinking is flawed. Bookmarks achieved for future posting

Just deploy ships to each of the CFC FOBs like you were supposed to be doing all along. Every pilot in the CFC should have CFC doctrine ships and jump clones already in FOB North (previously VFK, now YA0), FOB West (F2OY), and FOB South (4-EP). In the event of a deployment, you jump clone to your cache of ships. If you don't already have your clones and ships in order then take the time leading up to the patch to get them staged.

edit:



Alternately sell me all your capital pilots. Mail me in game please.
